Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

Originally, Varian had not intended to build a level 3 magic guild so quickly, but as the war was imminent and he lacked the right group attack magic, he had to build it. Besides, it was more cost-effective to spend money to buy some resources than to lose a few more soldiers on the battlefield.

After all, all these types of troops now are just stored away due to the suspension of major infrastructure construction in recent days. There are not many of them in total, so it is right to cherish them.

After his mind entered the level 3 magic guild, three more spells instantly appeared in Varian's mind.

Continuous fireballs, anti-magic magic, and Hercules shield.

The third-level magic is still very useful. The continuous fireball is a powerful fire-based group attack magic that can attack a group of enemies and is quite powerful.

The Anti-Magic Technique allows the selected troops to resist all low-level magic. At this stage, they can resist almost all magic that they can come into contact with.

The Shield of Hercules can set up a magic wall on the battlefield to prevent enemy troops from passing through. This magic is very useful and can be used to protect ranged troops.

In the previous life, it was said that some friends who played the game Heroes of Might and Magic could use various auxiliary types of magic with great skill. After combining various magics, they could defeat the strong with the weak.

It can be seen how much impact the right magic can have on a war.

The next morning, when Gryan Stoutmantle arrived at the designated gathering point on the outskirts of the city, he was shocked.

He saw an extremely elite and majestic army, well-equipped and in excellent spirits.

And there are complete types of troops, including spearmen, archers, swordsmen, mages (monks), and cavalry.

There is even a huge and extremely sophisticated ballista.

The army's flag bears the emblem of Dagger Ridge Fortress.

The fact that so many soldiers gathered so quickly showed that preparations for the establishment of the Dagger Ridge Fortress had been started long ago and involved huge investment.

After seeing Gryan Stoutmantle coming, Varian immediately announced: "In this battle, all infantry, spearmen, and swordsmen will be led by Gryan Stoutmantle."

"All archers, mages, cavalry, and ballistas are commanded by Gavinrad."

After that, Varian looked at Gryan Stoutmantle and asked in a deep voice: "Gryan, is there any problem?"

Gryan Stoutmantle was very excited, he had never led an army of so many people before, and now that the war had just begun, he had the opportunity to take on such an important responsibility, his heart almost beat out of his chest.

So he immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness. Grian will definitely live up to your trust!"

"Okay, let's go!"

The group immediately set off towards the Dust Plains. In the evening, a scout came back from the front and reported: "Your Highness, according to our investigation, half a month ago, a young River Claw gnoll leader named Janger Spotted launched a gnoll civil war. Except for some small groups that escaped, all the River Claw gnolls in the Dust Plains area have joined his army. Now Janger Spotted has gathered a large force about 100 kilometers away, intending to eliminate all hostile forces."

It turned out to be this! In the original novel, after experiencing the Second World War, Jango Spottedpew secretly contacted Vanessa VanCleef and reached an agreement to lead the Riverpaw Clan to join the Brotherhood, and from then on completely occupied the Dust Plains area.

However, Jango Spottedpelt is still very young at this moment, and the Riverpaw clan has not yet been fully unified.

No wonder a small group of gnolls ran towards Dagger Ridge before, it turned out to be a civil war.

When the distance was still 5 kilometers, Varian used the magic eye of perspective.

The Eye of Perspective allows you to understand the strength of the opponent's army, heroes, and garrisons.

After looking for a while, Varian had an idea.

There are more than 400 River Claw jackals, including 20 River Claw mystics, 106 River Claw barbarians, 80 River Claw bandits, and 226 River Claw laborers.

There is a larger young gnoll in the middle, who should be Jango Spottedpelt, the leader of the Riverpaw gnolls.

Seeing that they were getting closer, Varian said, "Let's set up camp and rest here. Gryan and Gavinrad, come over for the meeting."

When preparing for a war, we must discuss the tactics in advance, including who will be the main attacker, who will be the secondary attacker, and how to fight. All of these must be clearly arranged.

Varian opened a large map and said, "Before the battle, I will cast a magic spell, the Quicksand Trap, which will place four pieces of quicksand that only our troops can see. Don't step into the traps, as they will lose their mobility if they fall into the quicksand. For those who step into the traps, ignore them for now, as they will not be able to get out for a while. Kill other gnolls first. Is that okay?"

"No problem, Your Highness."

"Very good. After the battle begins, Grian's infantry spearmen will face the enemy's River Claw Barbarians and River Claw Peons head-on. Gavinrad will command the cavalry to quickly rush from both sides to kill the River Claw Mystics and their leader, Jangar Spotted."

"Archers and mages, provide long-range damage in the rear. I will cast the magic shield of Hercules, which will summon a magic wall in front of the long-range soldiers. It can temporarily block the enemy soldiers from coming over."

"Do you understand everything?"

"Who will operate this huge ballista, and who is the target?"

"Oh, I almost forgot to make the arrangements. Gavinrad, arrange a few soldiers to operate the crossbows. Mainly target the leader Jango Spotted and the River Claw Mystic. The crossbows are very lethal. Be sure to aim and don't shoot your own people."

"understand!"

Always keep the Eye of Perspective open, it consumes too much mana. Don't let your mana be used up before you even start fighting.

After thinking for a while, Varian sat in the tent, controlled a griffin with his mind, and quietly flew to the werewolf camp to gather information.

This way you don't have to use the Eye of Perspective magic all the time.

Varian could see all the soldiers summoned from the base. The griffin was very fast and soon reached the sky above the jackals and then circled above.

The River Claw gnolls had never seen a griffin before, and the griffin flew relatively high and looked very similar to the common carcass-chopping birds in the area.

At this time, the Riverpaw Gnolls were also advancing.

One by one, the gnolls appeared in the griffin's field of vision. The gnolls were clearly distinguishable. The River Claw laborers were generally about 1.8 meters tall, while most of the River Claw barbarians were over 2 meters tall, and their clothing was also different. The River Claw mystics all held a staff.

In the middle was a gigantic gnoll, very strong, almost as big as two River Claw laborers, carrying a two-handed sword on his back and holding a huge two-handed axe in his hands.

This is definitely Jange Spotted, the leader of the River Claw Gnolls. Jange Spotted is a leader among the younger generation of River Claw Gnolls. He is a seventh-rank warrior and has the highest martial power among the River Claw Gnolls. He looks very elite.

If you have ever killed it in the game, you will know that both of its weapons are purple epic weapons. The two-handed axe is called Captain Claw's Lumberjack Axe, and the two-handed sword is called Captain Claw's Barbecue Spike.
